Its a bit sad that a board that already has sold 1.5 million pieces is not fully supported.
My raspberry group here in Singapore is a lot bigger then my openSUSE group.. And I can not use OpenSUSE on my raspberries... :/
What really frustrates me
Feel free to join in and help get it all working if it frustrates you that much. As we've explained several times, the Pi uses the old ARMv6 architecture and is almost the sole user nowadays (from a general compute perspective). openSUSE is looking forward, and when we re-started the ARM porting effort we made it crystal clear that our focus is on ARMv7 and above (including ARMv8). Creating and maintaining a port takes a heck of a lot of work, so there is only so much we can do. This does not stop you from getting ARMv6 up and running etc, and we know there are a lot of people with devices. This is what Berhhard help start and I know he would love some help.

Hallo,
for half a year we're trying now to get openSUSE working on Raspberry Pi and still no success.
The normal images don't build and the replacement image from http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi works, but is ARM5 and thus does not work together with any project in the OBS, as these are all ARM6. On OBS it seems impossible to build anything from ARM5 anymore.
So in my eyes the state is: - a non-standard image can be installed and works, but it is impossible to build packages for it. - all packages build in OBS are for ARM6, but can't be used, as I have no image to start from.
Is there anything I overlook?
How do I use Raspberry Pi with openSUSE and especially with the chance to build own packages for it?
IIRC you need to wait a little bit longer as the ARMv6 target hasn't finished bootstarpping, I could be wrong and it is something more fundamental that's broken.
